Sengkang LNG Terminal - Ground Investigation Schedule 2

Name of Contract & Employer

The name of the contract shall be Sengkang LNG and the Client will be Energy World International (EWI). This document represents the preliminary information required to undertake a Ground Investigation (GI) for the above contract.

Description of Site
The site is located approximately 4km south east of the village of Keera, Sulawesi, Indonesia. The site is divided into two locations; Location A on the high ground and Location B by the sea shore, the two areas are linked by a haul road. Location A is located about 1km inland from the sea shore and comprises an area of relatively high ground (10-12metres Above Sea Level (mASL)) to the north west of the site that is set to banana plants and long grasses, the site falls to the east and the south to a low lying coastal plain, at a nominal level of 2mASL, that is set to rice plants that have gone to seed or other scrub vegetation. Location B is located at the shore line comprises a relatively flat area at around 1mASL, that is set to dried out fishing ponds and drainage channels. The north west corner of the site is being filled in an un-engineered manner for use as a lay-down area for the proposed construction.

Main Works Proposed and Purpose of Contract

It is proposed to construct an 67m diameter LNG tank at the shore Location, B. At this stage the nominal loads are thought to be in the order of 158MN. The purpose of the investigation is to provide additional detailed information about the ground and groundwater conditions and likely soil parameters at the location of the proposed structure. The ground conditions investigated will include the nature and condition of the ground and groundwater regime with regard to the proposed foundation design.

Scope of Investigation
It is envisaged that the scope of works will comprise (but not be limited to) the following general elements: 2 no rotary boreholes to evaluate the ground conditions to 100mBGL Collection of geotechnical samples In-situ geotechnical testing

Recommendations for Further Work

Arup recommends the following works: A desk study report A Ground Investigation, as described above.

There is a possibility that the material on site may be contaminated from previous land use. This should be considered when planning the Ground Investigation.

17

Geotechnical Risk
The main aspects of the scheme which affect the degree of geotechnical risk are given below. The further work recommended will confirm the ground conditions and reduce geotechnical risk to the project. Other specific criteria such as those listed below will be discussed in future geotechnical reports. Structural foundations bearing capacity and settlements.

The key geotechnical risks (and hence cost risks) identified at the date of this report are given below: Unknown geotechnical properties of founding strata Groundwater variability Variable engineering quality soils Soils of poor engineering quality low bearing capacity and high settlement Minimal in situ testing, further situ testing is required to confirm the geological model. Aggressive ground conditions. This may arise due to high sulphate levels in alluvial soils. Contamination: This may arise due to the presence of Made Ground and past / current land use.

Mitigation of these risks should be based on refinement the ground model resulting from appropriate supplementary ground investigation and interpretation of these data. The following will also vary: environmental risks and constraints, potential contaminated land risks, geotechnical risks, the type of engineered solutions, and the cost and risks associated with construction.

The output from the transducers shall be read to within 0.05% of the output over the full working range. The data for each transducer shall be tabulated and presented as a graph of measured displacement against corresponding output. Regression analysis shall be used to determine the correlation between output and displacement or pressure and the coefficient shall be expressed to at least three significant figures. The coefficient of determination (r2) for each calibration shall be greater than 0.95. The correlation coefficient for each calibration shall be within 5% of the mean correlation given in the register. Calibrations which do not meet these criteria will not be acceptable without the approval of the Engineer. Component calibration Displacement transducer (Type 1): The calibration of the displacement transducer shall be the change in output from the transducer against the movement of the transducer measured by a micrometer. The micrometer shall read to 0.01mm. The displacement shall be continuously increased up to the maximum working range of the transducer and then reduced to zero at increments of displacement no greater than 2mm. Each transducer shall be calibrated independently. Total pressure transducer (Type 2): The instrument shall be placed in a cylinder strong enough safely to restrain the expansion at full working pressure. The pressure in the instrument shall be continuously increased in equal increments, such that there are 10 to 20 increments up to the total working capacity of the installed pressure transducer. The pressure in the instrument shall be reduced by the same number of increments used for pressurisation. The pressure at the end of each increment or decrement shall be held constant until the readings from the transducer remain substantially constant, readings being recorded at 10sec intervals throughout.

There shall be sufficient increments of pressure to accurately define the initial portion of the expansion. Upon expansion a cavity strain rate shall be selected to give sufficient data to accurately define the expansion curve. The expansion shall continue until the maximum movement of one of the displacement transducers is achieved. The membrane shall then be deflated by reducing the diameter of the membrane in the same decrements as the increments used for inflation. The output from all the transducers shall be recorded at 10sec intervals. The data for each transducer shall be converted to engineering units by applying the calibration coefficients determined for the Displacement and Total Pressure Transducers and presented as a graph of measured total pressure against corresponding cavity strain or displacement for each displacement transducer. The membrane stiffness calibration coefficients shall be expressed as the pressures required to lift the membrane away from the body of the instrument and to move the membrane away from the body of the instrument to the maximum movement of the displacement transducers. The coefficients shall be expressed to at least two significant figures. Membrane compression (Type 5): The instrument shall be placed in a cylinder of known elastic properties strong enough safely to restrain the expansion at full working pressure. A cylinder with a ratio of internal diameter of the cylinder to deflated instrument diameter of no greater than 1.1 shall be used with high pressure dilatometers. The instrument shall be pressurised up to its working pressure capacity. The pressure in the instrument shall be reduced to 10% of the working capacity of the instrument and then increased up to the working capacity in equal increments. The maximum increment or decrement shall be no greater than 5% of the working capacity. The pressure in the instrument shall then be reduced to zero. The pressure at the end of each increment or decrement shall be held constant until the readings from the transducer remain sensibly constant, readings being recorded at 10sec intervals throughout.

start of the test shall be recorded and passed to the Engineer as part of the deliverables. Testing procedure Stress controlled tests shall be carried out at a constant rate of pressure increase, with two unload-reload loops included in the loading sequence. The maximum pressure prior to unloading should be progressively increased. The first unload-reload loop should be carried out at when either the cavity has increased in diameter by between 1% and 3%, or as soon as a linear expansion has been established (whichever occurs first) or as otherwise agreed with the Engineer. The pressure increments shall be no greater than 0.5MPa and shall be adjusted to ensure that there are at least 15 increases in pressure throughout the loading stage (excluding any unload-reload cycles). The size of the pressure increment shall be adjusted during the early stage of the test to ensure that a sufficient number of readings are taken to accurately define when the membrane comes in contact with the side of the pocket and shall be no greater than 0.2MPa. Before each unload/reload loop the pressure increment shall be held constant for 3 minutes at that test pressure to establish any creep movement. The output from the transducers shall be recorded at 10 sec intervals throughout the test. The pressuremeter shall be pressurised until either the material is showing clear signs of failure, maximum pressure capacity is reached, or any one of the displacement transducers has reached its full working range or there is undue risk of damage to the equipment. The reason for termination of the test shall be recorded and presented to the Engineer as part of the deliverables. During unloading and subsequent reloading, the pressure increments shall be similar in magnitude to the increments used in the loading stages.

BOREHOLE VELOCITY LOGGING

This specification is based on the Geovision Procedure for P-S Suspension Seismic Velocity Logging. This procedure describes a method for measuring shear and compressional wave velocities in soil and rock. The P-S Suspension Method is applied by generating shear and compressional waves in a borehole using a Suspension Logger borehole tool and measuring the travel time between two receiver geophones or hydrophones located in the same tool. The outcome of this procedure is a plot and table of P and SH wave velocity versus depth for each borehole. Standard analysis is performed on receiver to receiver data. Processed data is presented in report format, and transmitted in Excel, Word or ASCII format. Logging contractor must exhibit at least 10 years experience, and specifically demonstrate capability in both receiver-to-receiver and source-to-receiver measurements. 19.1 The Borehole

The P-S Suspension Logging Method can be used in either cased or uncased boreholes. Uncased boreholes are preferred because the effects of the casing and grouting are removed. For best results, the borehole must be between 10 and 20 cm in diameter, or 4 to 8 inches. The borehole should be drilled uncased using the rotary methods with a mud flush. This method does little damage to the borehole wall, and the drilling fluid coats and seals the borehole wall reducing fluid loss and wall collapse. The borehole fluid is required for the logging, and must be well circulated prior to logging. If the borehole must be cased, the casing must be PVC and properly installed and grouted. Any voids in the grout will cause problems with the data. Likewise, large grout bulbs used to fill cavities will also cause problems. The grout must be set before testing. This means the grouting must take place at least 48 hours before testing. For borehole casing, applicable preparation procedures are presented in ASTM Standard D4428/D4428M-91 Section 4.1 (see ASTM website for copy). A rathole of 5m is required to obtain data to the full depth desired. This is due to the construction of the P-S suspension tool. 19.2 Test Procedure

Calibration within last 12 months of the probe and digital recorder is required. The P-S Suspension Logging tool should incorporate both the source and the receivers in the same instrument probe. The minimum vertical logging interval must be 0.5m. The following field records are required as a minimum: 1) Field log for each borehole showing a) Borehole identification

Following completion of field work, the recorded digital records should be analyzed by an experienced geophysicist with at least 10 years experience. Deliverables must include a written report with methodology, field procedure, instrument calibration records, field data forms, and electronic spreadsheet with charts of both receiver-to-receiver measurements as well as source-to-receiver measurements to produce plots and tables of Vs and Vp, P and SH wave velocity versus depth. QA records demonstrating a quality procedure must provided.
